A gala clay for those who have
served on.the jury in Stark county
during the year for 1926 is bein^
planned for Saturday, June 26. The

park, North Canton. It is hoped that
every one who served or is serving
on the jury will attend.

Agler will be present and give short
talks. Bring your basket, drinking
cup ancl silverware. Coffee, plates
and cream will be furnished.
ON THE SCREEN
Harold Lloyd Here Friday and Saturday Nights In a Scream,
"For Heaven's Sake."
Too many in a coupe, resisting an
officer, destroying booze evidence,
speeding and upsetting an auto were
a few of the charges preferred against
half a dozen men on different occasions when they faced Mayor Becher
in police court this week. Marshal
Bachtel, Night Officer Bill Workinger
and Substitute Officer Loren Snod-
grass had gathered the men in from
time to time.
Fines were imposed and in a few
instances when the Mayor felt the
offense was committed by "a dare
devil" he handed out a little advice
the D.D. won't forget for a few weeks.
Officer Workinger was in Cleveland,
Akron and MillersTmrg this week collecting information for the local
court.
The Julius Brown garage sent out
a towing car to bring in a Dodge
roadster that was upset on Portage
street. The driver of the car was
fined by the Mayor.
Traffic Policeman Curry, who was
injured several weeks ago while following an automobile, is able to visit
police headquarters. It will be several clays, however, before he returns
to active duty.
There is a "human side" to Mayor
Becher when he believes an offender
has iust "slipped" ancl isn't trying to
"kid" the town; Several young fellows have reason to thank Logan W.
Becher for giving them another
chance, although it is with the understanding he will "salt" them if they
come before him a second time. So
far they have been going along in a
sensible way, much to the pleasure
of their relatives and friends ancl—
the Mayor.

An Embarrassing Question
Effie—Why hasn't daddy much

Mother—Because he thinks a lot,

Effie (pause)—But why have you

iast!
The popular North Canton favorite,
Harold Lloyd, has been booked for
Friday and Saturday nights in "For
Heaven's Sake." This picture is a
scream, ancl you'll laugh in the Community Building and long afterward
when you think of Lloyd's capers.
The prices for this picture are 20c,
25c, ancl 40c.
On Tuesday night, June 29, a First
National picture, "The Silent Watcher," is the attraction. Bessie Love,
Glenn Hunter and Hobart Bos\yorth
are in the cast. They never appear in
a "punk" picture.
Another chapter in the mystery

LILLEY IN BIG ROLE
Popular Actor With The Pauline
MacLean Players a Strong
Favorite In Akron.
LUTHERAN CHILDREN
TO HOLD EXERCISES
Primary and Intermediate Departments Will Render Appropriate Program In Zion
Church On Sunday Morning.
PASTOR AT CONVENTION
Undoubtedly the most .welcome addition to the theatrical offerings of
native drama which Tlie Pauline Mac-
Lean Players have presented at the
Colonial theater, Akron, is their production of that great American comedy, "The Show Off," which began a
week's engagement, Monday night,
June 21.
If there were more real American
plays of American life, by American
authors, like George Kelly's, "The
Show Off," with its keen portrayal of
genuine human nature, we would have
a much higher standard of entertainment in our American theaters, according to many critics. The character
of "The Show Off," as depicted in the
play, is one of tlie most true to life
delienations that has come to light
on the stage in a generation. He is
the bluffing braggart and conceited
ass who loves to hear the sound of
his own voice, and who, while playing
to the galleries ancl making himself
conspicuous, believes himself to be a
really prominent citizen in our midst.
But, in the hands of George Kelly,
he becomes a prime comedy character.
Lilley In Big Role
•When it is known that Edward
Clarke Lilley is playing the part of
this loud, cheaps, gaudy, ancl insincere
wind-bag, the Character of Aubrey
Piper in the play, one may anticipate
a rare laughing treat. There is no
comedy character that has been created on the stage in recent years that
could possibly provide him with
greater opportunities for keeping his
audience laughing all the time that
he occupies the stage.
"The Show Off" is a highly amusing study of the life of a. typical
American family located in Philadelphia.
In addition to Mr. Lilley and Miss
MacLean, all the other members of
the Colonial company are assigned to
parts that fit them to perfection, and
a performance of the highest merit
is the result.
. Matinees Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday. Night performances begin
at 8:30: . : . .
[By the Pastor]
Children's clay will be observed next
Sunday morning. The primary and
intermediate departments will render
an appropriate program of recitations
and songs. This service will also be
of a missionary character. An offer-'
ing for home missions will be received. The hour of service is 10:15.
The theme of the program is, "Thy
Kingdom Come." A regular session
of the Sunday-school will precede this
service.
The 35th annual convention of Lutheran Sunday-schools of Stark and
Carroll counties is being conducted
this week at St. Jacob's church, Mud-
brook, Canal Fulton parish. Albert
Mohler ancl Ruth Friend are delegates
from' Zion. The convention is also
being attended by the pastor ancl by
the Sunday-school superintendent, Mr.
Broeske, ancl other Sunday-school
workers of Zion congregation.
The last devotional meeting for the
summer months of the Luther League
was conducted on Sunday evening. An
interesting discussion of the subject
"How much of a goal may money
be?" occupied the time of meeting.
Special music added variety to the
program.
PULPIT AND PEI
ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
Laslr Sunday was Children's day
with us. We had a fine, large, active
Sunday-school, numbering 551. The
lesson, "Judah's Plea," was very interesting ancl . helpful. During the
church hour the Children's day program was given. It was about a
capacity audience. The little ones
performed their parts very creditably,
artel reflected credit upon those who
had trained them. The mother's, part
must not be overlooked. To dress
them for the occasion meant work,
which we know was freely given. It
all contributed to the success. The
floral profusion and the song birds
added much. But we all know the
children are'-worth it and infinitely
more. What a future force for the
Kingdom, if all could be-enlisted actively in the Master's service. Toward
this wo labor, for this we pray.
Next Thursday evening the Naomi
class meet in business and social
session. A special speaker has been
announced, and a lunch will feature.
The apponitments for next Sunday
will be regular, morning and evening.
Next Sunday evening will be the last
evening service until September. We
are fondly promising ourselves it will
be well attended and full of interest.
The elementary school have planned to picnic in the North Canton
park on Wednesday afternoon,
gathering at 2:30 o'clock.

THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH '
[By the Pastor]
We take especial pleasure in being
able to say that with June nearly
gone, one of the summer months, we
are going strong. The Sunday-school
attendance has increased and the attendance and interest in the morning
worship have been maintained.
This is due largely to ever-increasing interest on the part of the congregation, and to the faithfulness on
the part of those who serve to keep
the music and other parts of the service up to a high standard.
This spirit will continue through
the summer. Special music will be
arranged and every effort made to
make every service attractive and inspiring.
The subject of the sermon for Sunday morning will ?be "When Jesus
Lives In Us."
Mrs. E. E. Stoner will give a fifteen-minute organ recital at the beginning of the night service.
Instead of the regular preaching at
the night service, V. A. Schreiber of
Canton will deliver an address on prohibition. This is a much discussed
subject and one in which everyone is
interested, either for or against.
o
HEROES WITHOUT SWORD
A bronze tablet recently unveiled
in Arlington National Cemetery to
twenty-three army chaplains who
died in the World War reminds us
that we are apt to overlook the very
real service of these devoted crusaders.
Though often engaged within the
battle line, the chaplain is a less spectacular figure than the doughboy with
a bayonet. So it is the warrior dead
who get most of the praise.
Tlie chaplain, however, had a big
job on his hands stimulating morale
ancl adding his comforting ministrations to the wounded and dying. He
was a part of the war machine, an
essential part, and gave noble proof
of his zeal to serve his country well.
At Arlington, when the chaplain's
part in the war was given recognir
tion, a Congregational minister read
the names of the twenty-three, an
Episcopal bishop offered the invocation, a Catholic priest delivered the
eulogy and a Je\jjifeh rabbi pronounced the benediction—» fine example of the brotherhood of service
and the spirit, of tolerance the army
chaplain knows how to inculcate.—-San
Francisco Chronicle.-

Council No. 309 Will Tajte the

On Tuesday For Instructions.
FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY
Church Deacon, a Little Boy and
the Moral.
Wickes Wamboldt, •writing in the
Chattanooga Times, tells the story..of
a church deacon and a. little boy. It
points a moral worth keeping green
in our minds. Here it is:
A little boy was in a:'.back room of
a church watching a -deacon count
the money in the collection plates.
There was what looked to the little
boy like a great accumulation of currency. There was so much that he
indicated to the deacon that he
wouldn't mind having a nickel himself out of that superabundance of
money. The deacon rebuked the suggestion. He said it was the Lord's
money.
The little boy, being of a logical
ancl argumentative turn of mind—
when he grew up he became a lawyer
—contended that' he was qijite sure
that the L6rd would not-mind'his having just 5 cents. But the ddacon rejected the proposition with (severity.
It was the Lord's money, and the little boy could not have any of the
Lord's money. '
The little boy pondered/that. He
recalled a hymn they hrd/sung that
morning in Sunday-school:
My father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the weath Of the world
in his hands. j
If his father had sail that wealth,
why all this fuss about a nickel ? It
looked mighty stingy tojhim. If that
was tlie way God was going to treat
him he was going to show God a
thing or two himself. I
After that when his fcIks gave him
money to take to Sundiy-school, he
bought candv of chewng gum or
marbles with it. And
keeping the commands
who wouldn't let him
nickel out of untold richtes didn't appeal to him, either.
The unimaginatative
didn't comprehend the
that little boy's mind si
of rebellion in him that _
thirty years. He didn't go to church
when he could get out of it.- He had
a personal grouch againsv God. Things
didn't go very well with'him, either.
"Then one day," he said, telling the
story, "I had a sudden illumination.
I came to the conclusion that I was
traveling on the wrong track."
"If my earthly father were a
wealthy man, I couldn't expect to get
much out of him by being grouchy
ancl unco-operative. I should try to
stand in with him. I should try to
make him like me and want to do
things for me. And I'd go about that
by doing the things I knew he would
like to have me do, ami not by doing
the things I kn'ew he would not like
to have me do. Right there I faced
about. I began to try to get into the
good graces of the Supreme Ruler of
the universe. I set out to win His
favor—and I guess I have succeeded
pretty well."
I guess he has. He is worth about
$750,000 today.
At a regular meeting of the Jr.
O. U. A. M. on Monday night in the
K. of P. hall arrangements were made
to take a class of candidates to Middlebranch on Tuesday night, June 29,
for the purpose of receiving the initiatory work. All Juniors desiring to
go should meet at the hall not later
than 7:00 o'clock.
Middlebranch Juniors have been
complimented several times by our
state officers for the excellent manner in which they put on the work,
and it is indeed a rich treat to see
them in action. We want to take a
large delegation along on Tuesday
night, so don't make any engagement
for June 29. There will be visitors in
Middlebranch from Canton, Greensburg, Akron and other towns and so
it is our duty to make a good showing.
Colonel Coolidge Council was only
recently instituted, and that is all tho
more reason why we should turn out
100 per cent, strong when we go to
Middlebranch. The brothers are glad
to have us, and they can teach us a
lot about tho ritual that we should
know if we are to take a good rank
among the other councils. So as a
parting word, let's keep in mind the
date, Tuesday night, June 29.
The next regular meeting of this
council will be on Monday evening,
July 5, in the K.'of P. hall.
Middlebranch Festival
The Juniors of Middlebranch are
going to hold a festival in that place
on Saturday evening, June 26. There
will be good, music ancl plenty of fun.
Come on, brothers, let's be there on
Saturday. It is a good way to get
acquainted, ancl we can't spend a more
pleasant time than with the Juniors
on the lawn in their own home town.

W&siMiU
IN REGARD TO FREEDOM
E. W. Howe's Monthly
Men are forever clamoring for
more freedom. Just how much do they
expect ?
Freedom to marry when they have
a wife?
When a man talks a great deal about
freedom he wishes the rights of others
restricted, and his own enlarged.
He is clamoring for unfairness.
Freedom is actually slavery. The
old savages had freedom absolutely,
ancl found they couldn't afford to exercise it. So they gradually evolved
,the present system of giving up freedom, i
You often hear of a man,who is a
slave to his family; to his job; he
shows respect for policemen, judges,
tax collectors, all appointed with his
consent.
What a number of slave drivers we
have!
. Order, is slavery; when you clamor
for freedom, you are clamoring
against civilization. ' |
All I expect from freedom is to be j
no more of a slave than others. If';
I am on time, and the train waits |
twenty minutes for another passen-1
ger who is half an hour late, I'll make
a fuss about it, for I favor schedules,
and prompt performance of them.

G, E. Schiltz will open a high
grade jewelry store at 125 South
Main street, North Canton, on July 1,
with a first-class line of diamonds,
watches, jewelry ancl silverware, making a specialty of high grade watch,
clock and jewelry repairing, engraving and rebuilding jewelry.
Mr. Schiltz has been trained to recognize the best in tin's line of business and to do accurate work. He
brings also to his store twenty years

stores of the large city, where only
the highest grade jewelry was handled,' such as he will offer to the people in The Sun's territory.
Attorney Homer V. Briggle of Canton has announced that he is a candidate on the Republican ticket for
Prosecuting Attorney of Stark county.
The primaries are on Tuesday, August 10.
He has been a resident of this
county all his life. He was born on
a farm, reared on a farm and owns
a farm. He. taught school in the winter months of his youth and in the
summer tilled the soil. Then he went
to college and after he was graduated
he studied law. In March, 1899, lie
began to practice in Canton and his
career since that time is known to
many people.
He- has never been a candidate for
office or political preferment, so it
naturally follows that he vis not- tied
to any faction. He is an enthusiastic
member of the Isaac Walton League
and has done considerable work, absolutely without pay, to keep the
streams pure in Stark county. He
has also assisted materially in the
"plant a tree" movement, ancl he is
active in other lines having for their
object the advancement of mankind.
A strong advocate of the Square
Deal, Attorney Briggle believes in a
humane, common sense way of handling legal cases, ancl several times
he has advised persons going to him
for advice that they would be wasting their money if they went to court
for the reason they had "no case."
Discussing his candidacy with a
writer for The Sun Mr. Briggle said:
"Feeling confident that no better
protection can be afforded the public
from the depredations of incorrigible
criminals than the successful, vigorous prosecution of them I shall cooperate with,- and not antagonize those
whose duty it is to catch criminals.
"The indictment of any person is a
serious matter and should not be contingent upon the whim, caprice or
vengeance of a prosecutor. No person should be indicted unless the evidence would warrant a judge submitting the case to a jury for adjudication.
"If I am nominated and elected it
will be my aim to conduct the office
in a manner befitting its dignity and
to secure the ends of justice for all."

To Meet On Monday Night.
A strawberry picnic will be held by
the Junior Men's class of Zion Reformed church on Monday evening,
June 28, at Marquardt place, east of
North Canton, just off of East Maple
street.
Members and their families are
asked to meet promptly at the church,
ready to Jeave at 6:30. Should the

Facts About Prohibition" in the Community Christum church on Sunday
night, June 27, at 7:30. Special music
and singing will precede his address.
Mr. Schreiber is at present a resident of Canton and is actively engaged in warring on the liquor traffic.
He is said to be a good speaker, having spoken in a dozen states on tho
evils of intemperance. The public is
invited to hear him on Sunday night.
What Are the Facts
Tho Sun does not make a practice
of reprinting clippings sent to this
office, for the very good reason that
the paper would be swamped, but we
make an exception in this instance
ancl publish the following extracts
handed in by a friend. The paragraphs are entitled "What Are the
Facts?" Here they are: v
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale
University, well-known economist,
says the country would be ahead of
the game if prohibittion enforcement
cost a billion dollars a year. He declares the dry law has brought an
annual saving to the American people of more than six billion dollars.
The estimated annual income in 1919
the last wet year, has been increased
ten, per cent., due to prohibition, Professor Fisher says.
Roger Babson, another world-renowned economist, declares that "all
must agree that the .increased purchasing power of the masses, which
has been so general since the war,
is largely due to prohibition." Mr.
Babson adds, "There is probably no
one factor which would more quickly
bring about a business panic and a
period of unemployment as a nullification by Legislation of prohibition and
a return to the saloon with its ac-
empanying poverty and disease."
Banks and Insurance
To offset the claim's of wets that,
prohibition is disastrous to the prosperity of the people, the report of the
1095 banks of Ohio showed deposits
had increased last year $1.16,405,525,
savings increased 588,181,280 during
the year, and the average savings account increased from 5180.46 to
5201.17.

. The Wages of Sin
Tlie wages of sin now depends
somewhat on how much the confes-
cion magazines are paying.—Hemphis
News-Scimitar.
That the Y. M. C. A. has done much.
to cause residents of foreign lands to
understand and appreciate the United
States; that the organization is working hard to bring about good will
among all nations—and succeeding;
that Americans are recognized in the
Orient as leaders in the religious
world as well as the industrial, and
that a better day is dawning for alL
mankind were a few of the dominant
high spots in the address of J. M.
Clinton at the Hoover camp last
night.
Mr. Clinton, who is secretary of
the national foreign board of the Y.
M. C. A., was among the guests of
W. H. Hoover, who entertained the
executive board of the Canton Y. M.
C. A. and of the Community Building in the new dining hall at the
Hoover dam. Constructed of logs, it
carries the "atmosphere" suitable to
a home in the woods, and many complimentary remarks were heard concerning its rustic appearance.
Ellis B. Schiltz prepared a steak
dinner, and to that genial chef goes
the honors for a meal worthy the
praise of old Epicurus who became
famous in Greece as a philosopher because he taught that to be happy you
must appreciate a good meal. The
Hoover orchestra played during the
dinner hour, thus adding additional
pleasure to the occasion.
Mr. Clinton spent twenty-one years
in Y. M. C. A. work in China, Japan,
Korea and the Phillippines, and from
his remarks it is safe to assume that
the wonderful work of the organization in those countries is causing the
natives to regard America as a land
with a soul.

ON THE SCREEN
Harold Lloyd Here Friday and Saturday Nights In a Scream,
"For Heaven's Sake."
Too many in a coupe, resisting an
officer, destroying booze evidence,
speeding and upsetting an auto were
a few of the charges preferred against
half a dozen men on different occasions when they faced Mayor Becher
in police court this week. Marshal
Bachtel, Night Officer Bill Workinger
and Substitute Officer Loren Snod-
grass had gathered the men in from
time to time.
Fines were imposed and in a few
instances when the Mayor felt the
offense was committed by "a dare
devil" he handed out a little advice
the D.D. won't forget for a few weeks.
Officer Workinger was in Cleveland,
Akron and MillersTmrg this week collecting information for the local
court.
The Julius Brown garage sent out
a towing car to bring in a Dodge
roadster that was upset on Portage
street. The driver of the car was
fined by the Mayor.
Traffic Policeman Curry, who was
injured several weeks ago while following an automobile, is able to visit
police headquarters. It will be several clays, however, before he returns
to active duty.
There is a "human side" to Mayor
Becher when he believes an offender
has iust "slipped" ancl isn't trying to
"kid" the town; Several young fellows have reason to thank Logan W.
Becher for giving them another
chance, although it is with the understanding he will "salt" them if they
come before him a second time. So
far they have been going along in a
sensible way, much to the pleasure
of their relatives and friends ancl—
the Mayor.

LILLEY IN BIG ROLE
Popular Actor With The Pauline
MacLean Players a Strong
Favorite In Akron.
LUTHERAN CHILDREN
TO HOLD EXERCISES
Primary and Intermediate Departments Will Render Appropriate Program In Zion
Church On Sunday Morning.
PASTOR AT CONVENTION
Undoubtedly the most .welcome addition to the theatrical offerings of
native drama which Tlie Pauline Mac-
Lean Players have presented at the
Colonial theater, Akron, is their production of that great American comedy, "The Show Off," which began a
week's engagement, Monday night,
June 21.
If there were more real American
plays of American life, by American
authors, like George Kelly's, "The
Show Off," with its keen portrayal of
genuine human nature, we would have
a much higher standard of entertainment in our American theaters, according to many critics. The character
of "The Show Off," as depicted in the
play, is one of tlie most true to life
delienations that has come to light
on the stage in a generation. He is
the bluffing braggart and conceited
ass who loves to hear the sound of
his own voice, and who, while playing
to the galleries ancl making himself
conspicuous, believes himself to be a
really prominent citizen in our midst.
But, in the hands of George Kelly,
he becomes a prime comedy character.
Lilley In Big Role
•When it is known that Edward
Clarke Lilley is playing the part of
this loud, cheaps, gaudy, ancl insincere
wind-bag, the Character of Aubrey
Piper in the play, one may anticipate
a rare laughing treat. There is no
comedy character that has been created on the stage in recent years that
could possibly provide him with
greater opportunities for keeping his
audience laughing all the time that
he occupies the stage.
"The Show Off" is a highly amusing study of the life of a. typical
American family located in Philadelphia.
In addition to Mr. Lilley and Miss
MacLean, all the other members of
the Colonial company are assigned to
parts that fit them to perfection, and
a performance of the highest merit
is the result.
. Matinees Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday. Night performances begin
at 8:30: . : . .
[By the Pastor]
Children's clay will be observed next
Sunday morning. The primary and
intermediate departments will render
an appropriate program of recitations
and songs. This service will also be
of a missionary character. An offer-'
ing for home missions will be received. The hour of service is 10:15.
The theme of the program is, "Thy
Kingdom Come." A regular session
of the Sunday-school will precede this
service.
The 35th annual convention of Lutheran Sunday-schools of Stark and
Carroll counties is being conducted
this week at St. Jacob's church, Mud-
brook, Canal Fulton parish. Albert
Mohler ancl Ruth Friend are delegates
from' Zion. The convention is also
being attended by the pastor ancl by
the Sunday-school superintendent, Mr.
Broeske, ancl other Sunday-school
workers of Zion congregation.
The last devotional meeting for the
summer months of the Luther League
was conducted on Sunday evening. An
interesting discussion of the subject
"How much of a goal may money
be?" occupied the time of meeting.
Special music added variety to the
program.
PULPIT AND PEI
ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
Laslr Sunday was Children's day
with us. We had a fine, large, active
Sunday-school, numbering 551. The
lesson, "Judah's Plea," was very interesting ancl . helpful. During the
church hour the Children's day program was given. It was about a
capacity audience. The little ones
performed their parts very creditably,
artel reflected credit upon those who
had trained them. The mother's, part
must not be overlooked. To dress
them for the occasion meant work,
which we know was freely given. It
all contributed to the success. The
floral profusion and the song birds
added much. But we all know the
children are'-worth it and infinitely
more. What a future force for the
Kingdom, if all could be-enlisted actively in the Master's service. Toward
this wo labor, for this we pray.
Next Thursday evening the Naomi
class meet in business and social
session. A special speaker has been
announced, and a lunch will feature.
The apponitments for next Sunday
will be regular, morning and evening.
Next Sunday evening will be the last
evening service until September. We
are fondly promising ourselves it will
be well attended and full of interest.
The elementary school have planned to picnic in the North Canton
park on Wednesday afternoon,
gathering at 2:30 o'clock.

THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH '
[By the Pastor]
We take especial pleasure in being
able to say that with June nearly
gone, one of the summer months, we
are going strong. The Sunday-school
attendance has increased and the attendance and interest in the morning
worship have been maintained.
This is due largely to ever-increasing interest on the part of the congregation, and to the faithfulness on
the part of those who serve to keep
the music and other parts of the service up to a high standard.
This spirit will continue through
the summer. Special music will be
arranged and every effort made to
make every service attractive and inspiring.
The subject of the sermon for Sunday morning will ?be "When Jesus
Lives In Us."
Mrs. E. E. Stoner will give a fifteen-minute organ recital at the beginning of the night service.
Instead of the regular preaching at
the night service, V. A. Schreiber of
Canton will deliver an address on prohibition. This is a much discussed
subject and one in which everyone is
interested, either for or against.
o
HEROES WITHOUT SWORD
A bronze tablet recently unveiled
in Arlington National Cemetery to
twenty-three army chaplains who
died in the World War reminds us
that we are apt to overlook the very
real service of these devoted crusaders.
Though often engaged within the
battle line, the chaplain is a less spectacular figure than the doughboy with
a bayonet. So it is the warrior dead
who get most of the praise.
Tlie chaplain, however, had a big
job on his hands stimulating morale
ancl adding his comforting ministrations to the wounded and dying. He
was a part of the war machine, an
essential part, and gave noble proof
of his zeal to serve his country well.
At Arlington, when the chaplain's
part in the war was given recognir
tion, a Congregational minister read
the names of the twenty-three, an
Episcopal bishop offered the invocation, a Catholic priest delivered the
eulogy and a Je\jjifeh rabbi pronounced the benediction—» fine example of the brotherhood of service
and the spirit, of tolerance the army
chaplain knows how to inculcate.—-San
Francisco Chronicle.-

Council No. 309 Will Tajte the
Candidates To Middlebranch
On Tuesday For Instructions.
FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY
Church Deacon, a Little Boy and
the Moral.
Wickes Wamboldt, •writing in the
Chattanooga Times, tells the story..of
a church deacon and a. little boy. It
points a moral worth keeping green
in our minds. Here it is:
A little boy was in a:'.back room of
a church watching a -deacon count
the money in the collection plates.
There was what looked to the little
boy like a great accumulation of currency. There was so much that he
indicated to the deacon that he
wouldn't mind having a nickel himself out of that superabundance of
money. The deacon rebuked the suggestion. He said it was the Lord's
money.
The little boy, being of a logical
ancl argumentative turn of mind—
when he grew up he became a lawyer
—contended that' he was qijite sure
that the L6rd would not-mind'his having just 5 cents. But the ddacon rejected the proposition with (severity.
It was the Lord's money, and the little boy could not have any of the
Lord's money. '
The little boy pondered/that. He
recalled a hymn they hrd/sung that
morning in Sunday-school:
My father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the weath Of the world
in his hands. j
If his father had sail that wealth,
why all this fuss about a nickel ? It
looked mighty stingy tojhim. If that
was tlie way God was going to treat
him he was going to show God a
thing or two himself. I
After that when his fcIks gave him
money to take to Sundiy-school, he
bought candv of chewng gum or
marbles with it. And
keeping the commands
who wouldn't let him
nickel out of untold richtes didn't appeal to him, either.
The unimaginatative
didn't comprehend the
that little boy's mind si
of rebellion in him that _
thirty years. He didn't go to church
when he could get out of it.- He had
a personal grouch againsv God. Things
didn't go very well with'him, either.
"Then one day," he said, telling the
story, "I had a sudden illumination.
I came to the conclusion that I was
traveling on the wrong track."
"If my earthly father were a
wealthy man, I couldn't expect to get
much out of him by being grouchy
ancl unco-operative. I should try to
stand in with him. I should try to
make him like me and want to do
things for me. And I'd go about that
by doing the things I knew he would
like to have me do, ami not by doing
the things I kn'ew he would not like
to have me do. Right there I faced
about. I began to try to get into the
good graces of the Supreme Ruler of
the universe. I set out to win His
favor—and I guess I have succeeded
pretty well."
I guess he has. He is worth about
$750,000 today.
At a regular meeting of the Jr.
O. U. A. M. on Monday night in the
K. of P. hall arrangements were made
to take a class of candidates to Middlebranch on Tuesday night, June 29,
for the purpose of receiving the initiatory work. All Juniors desiring to
go should meet at the hall not later
than 7:00 o'clock.
Middlebranch Juniors have been
complimented several times by our
state officers for the excellent manner in which they put on the work,
and it is indeed a rich treat to see
them in action. We want to take a
large delegation along on Tuesday
night, so don't make any engagement
for June 29. There will be visitors in
Middlebranch from Canton, Greensburg, Akron and other towns and so
it is our duty to make a good showing.
Colonel Coolidge Council was only
recently instituted, and that is all tho
more reason why we should turn out
100 per cent, strong when we go to
Middlebranch. The brothers are glad
to have us, and they can teach us a
lot about tho ritual that we should
know if we are to take a good rank
among the other councils. So as a
parting word, let's keep in mind the
date, Tuesday night, June 29.
The next regular meeting of this
council will be on Monday evening,
July 5, in the K.'of P. hall.
Middlebranch Festival
The Juniors of Middlebranch are
going to hold a festival in that place
on Saturday evening, June 26. There
will be good, music ancl plenty of fun.
Come on, brothers, let's be there on
Saturday. It is a good way to get
acquainted, ancl we can't spend a more
pleasant time than with the Juniors
on the lawn in their own home town.

W&siMiU
IN REGARD TO FREEDOM
E. W. Howe's Monthly
Men are forever clamoring for
more freedom. Just how much do they
expect ?
Freedom to marry when they have
a wife?
When a man talks a great deal about
freedom he wishes the rights of others
restricted, and his own enlarged.
He is clamoring for unfairness.
Freedom is actually slavery. The
old savages had freedom absolutely,
ancl found they couldn't afford to exercise it. So they gradually evolved
,the present system of giving up freedom, i
You often hear of a man,who is a
slave to his family; to his job; he
shows respect for policemen, judges,
tax collectors, all appointed with his
consent.
What a number of slave drivers we
have!
. Order, is slavery; when you clamor
for freedom, you are clamoring
against civilization. ' |
All I expect from freedom is to be j
no more of a slave than others. If';
I am on time, and the train waits |
twenty minutes for another passen-1
ger who is half an hour late, I'll make
a fuss about it, for I favor schedules,
and prompt performance of them.
